Gilbert,

An exit code of 127 is usually due to the OS not being able to find the program 
in question. This is likely because the registry parameter 
"/pqact/datadir-path" is set to "$HOME/data" or "$HOME/var/data" rather than 
just "$HOME". The solution is to either set the parameter to the home-directory 
of the LDM user or remove "decoders/" from the pathnames of the programs in the 
pqact(1) configuration-files *and* ensure that "$HOME/decoders" is in the PATH 
environment variable of the LDM user.

> I did. So, I erased the LDM, reinstalled it, and now logging works.
